More is not better – Only now is better…let me introduce you to Biet Simkin.

After watching Biet in this raw video by stylelikeu for the hundredth time I knew I wanted to share her and what she has to offer here on this space. I was deeply moved and touched by her wisdom. Biet Simkin is a guided meditation leader and artist. I really am in awe of her powerful presence and depth in what she is saying. She studied meditation from an early life – makes beautiful dreamy music and pursuits her passions. Biet faced many shocks & each connected her more with her higher self.

“Society laughs at spirituality. It’s crazy to me that it’s totally accepted to go out, drink tequila and engage in other self-destructing behaviors. But as soon as you tell someone you meditate they roll their eyes and categorize you as a spiritual hippie.” – Biet Simkin via liveinthegrey.com

She created Center of the Cyclone – events where she teaches ancient principles of Zen mastery and journeys inward in an emotional + intellectual way. An immersive experience that weaves meditation, self inquiry, art, music and fashion, offering an explosive experience. Meditation for the modern mind. I cannot wait to attend a guided meditation on my next trip to new york. Thank you thank you thank you Biet for being part of this interview series. You truly are an inspiration with a huge amount of authenticity, courage and a beautiful rawness!
